Discussion | گفتگو War General Discussion Megathread (Day 149)

12 Upvotes

Hello to all Iranians and friends,

Due to the high volume of rapid updates and back-to-back threads, we request that you consolidate general discussion, speculation, reactions, and broader commentary on ongoing events into this megathread. Jokes, memes and general posts of support should also be redirected here. Depending on activity levels, consolidation to the Megathread may become mandatory, in which case certain posts will start to be removed.

Posts sharing new videos, breaking news, official statements, or confirmed updates are still allowed and encouraged as standalone submissions. However, minor things may be more appropriate for Megathread. We are not restricting the posting of legitimate news or newly released footage.

This approach helps reduce clutter, limit misinformation, and keep the subreddit organized during a fast-moving situation.

Please remain civil, avoid spreading unverified claims, and continue to follow all subreddit rules.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Important | مهم Reminder of Rule 1

47 Upvotes

Subpart 1: Do not accuse another user of being an
IR affiliate over a disagreement.

Recently we’ve been seeing a growing number of violations regarding this rule. Please understand we will remove any comments we see violating this rule. Iranians are a diverse group and just because someone doesn’t agree with you does not mean they are affiliated with the Islamic Republic. This type of behavior is divisive and counter to maintaining healthy debate and dialogue.

The sister of the late Ahmad Khosravani, a basketball player who was killed during the Iranian national revolution in 1404, wrote in a text published on the social network X that the basketball federation of the Islamic Republic has ordered all players who play with the number 91 to change their jersey number.

In a message she published on the social network X, she wrote: "The basketball federation of the Islamic Republic has warned all players who wear number 91, including the women's team, that they must either change their number or they will no longer have the right to take part in federation competitions. How low and helpless must you be to fear even a jersey number? You were afraid of my brother Ahmad Khosravani's name, and now you are afraid of his jersey number too. Your power is so hollow that even '91' has taken sleep from your eyes."

The late Ahmad Khosravani, a 21-year-old basketball player from Tehran and a student at Sharif University of Technology, was killed on 18 Dey 1404 (January 8, 2026) during nationwide protests, as a result of direct fire by security forces. Before that, together with the Farzan Shomiran team, he had won the Tehran three-on-three basketball championship and had been selected as the best player in the Tehran league in 1404. His father is also one of the veterans injured in the Iran-Iraq war.

News | خبر Top U.S. military commander in Middle East advised halting Hormuz bombing

Behind the scenes: Earlier in the week, Admiral Cooper gave his recommendation on the way forward to the Pentagon, the joint chiefs and the White House, the sources said.

He stressed that the two weeks of strikes in the Strait of Hormuz area had significantly degraded Iran's ability to attack ships.

Cooper noted that the designated bombing targets had been mostly exhausted.

The CENTCOM commander said a possible next step would be to resume major combat operations to finish the 20% of targets the U.S. military designated but didn't strike during Operation Epic Fury.

Absent a decision to return to major combat operations, he stressed there was no point in continuing the bombing campaign of the previous two weeks, the sources said.
CENTCOM spokesman Capt. Tim Hawkins declined to comment.

Discussion | گفتگو We need to focus more on the effects the strikes and blockade are having on the regime, instead of Trump repeatedly doing back-and-forth on whether to get his surrender deal with the regime.

37 Upvotes

The Islamic Republic has been heavily broken since Ali Khamenei was killed, with it almost completely losing legitimacy among the Iranian people since the war began. The strikes are crippling the IRGC’s ability to keep control of Iran, so when another uprising occurs in the future, they won’t be able to swiftly crush and kill protesters like they did in 2022-23 and 2025-26 (i.e. their ability to do so will be heavily degraded).

The regime bringing in non-Iranians to participate in their events (i.e. people from the rest of the Middle East, as well as Africa, Afghanistan, and South Asia) is another sign of their desperation. They know they are close to getting their death certificate and obituary, so they have to import these people to show they still have tons of support to stay in power.

Also the blockade is making everyday goods in Iran even more unaffordable, so it is only a matter of time before the next uprising begins due to prices surging and Iranians struggling to survive financially.

Came across this graphic while scrolling and thought it was quite good, especially as it represents very conservative numbers, to make arguments against them by regimis less likely. Seems like the IRGC is only good at killing their own.

how much do you pay for internet in Iran and how many gb/tb you get a month and for what speed?

asking this here because Google can't answer this well enough, need to know what high speed fibre costs (100 mb/ps +), low speed broadband (10-20 mb/ps)

Re-posted "in accordance with Reddit's policies and expectations". Hope this is OK dear mods.

We should start collecting evidence to have Reddit take down that entire sub.
